One month later.
The Immortal Burial Ruins.
In Gu Yu’s small courtyard with a mud wall in Hongling Town.
”Yue Jian, Xuan Zhi, this time going down the well is still just for exploration. Go as far as you can.”
The crescent moon was in the sky, and all was silent. Standing beside the old well, Xu Taiping looked seriously at Dongfang Yue Jian and Xuan Zhi opposite.
The two nodded in unison.
During this period of time, apart from teaching Gu Yu swordsmanship, Xu Taiping spent all the rest of his time discussing with Dongfang Yue Jian and Xuan Zhi how to explore the opportunity in the old well.
”Brother Taiping, Master Xuan Zhi.”
At this time, Dongfang Yue Jian took out six yellow paper talismans and handed two to Xu Taiping and Xuan Zhi respectively：
”These two talismans, one is a water-avoiding talisman, and the other is an earth-traveling talisman.”
”However, because the talisman paper and talisman ink used are too poor, and my soul power is sealed, so like last time, whether it is the water-avoiding talisman or the earth-traveling talisman, the effect is only for dozens of breaths, and the spiritual power in it can only be activated four times, just enough for us to go back and forth.”
Xu Taiping and Xuan Zhi nodded in unison.
Xuan Zhi put on his cassock at this time, and at the same time took out the eight-tone dry wood fish and then also seriously reminded the two:
”Brother Taiping, Miss Yue Jian, the mana I can currently use can only maintain the Golden Bell Shield for the time of a cup of tea.”
“At the same time, I can only barely raise your cultivation bases to the great perfection of the Open Door Realm.”
Dongfang Yuejian and Xu Taiping also nodded in unison.
Although it is the third time within this month that the three of them have tried to go down the well to explore the Earth Vein Eye, the matters that need attention still have to be reminded among the three of them.
Then, I saw Xu Taiping put the two yellow talismans on his chest, reached out and pressed the handle of the ordinary long knife at his waist, and then said seriously to the two of them：
“Just like last time, this time I will still take the lead.”
Dongfang Yuejian nodded, and then reminded again：
“Brother Taiping, in the notes of our old ancestor, it is said that there are very likely to be powerful rat demons and snake demons in the underground river where the Earth Vein Eye is located.”
“Although the demons in this world cannot open their spiritual consciousness and cannot practice, their demon bodies will not be restricted by this.”
“So we still have to be careful！”
Xu Taiping nodded, and then shook the Tongzhou Chain in his hand and said：
“As per the old rule, once it is confirmed that there is no danger below, I will crush a bead on the Tongzhou Chain.”
The beads on the Tongzhou Chain, once one bead in one string is broken, the beads on the Tongzhou Chain paired with it will also break.
After explaining to Dongfang Yuejian and Xuanzhi, Xu Taiping didn’t say a word and jumped directly into the old well.
Almost at the same time as he entered the water, the water-avoiding talisman he placed on his chest lit up and turned into a pale blue halo that wrapped around Xu Taiping’s entire body.
In an instant, the cold well water in the old well was all blocked outside by this pale blue halo.
“Click！”
Soon, Xu Taiping’s feet touched the bottom and he stood at the bottom of the old well.
But almost at the same time, the earth-yellow halo emitted by the earth travel talisman also wrapped around Xu Taiping’s body.
The next moment, the originally hard soil at the bottom of the well suddenly became as “soft” as water flow.
Xu Taiping’s body then disappeared into the soil and sank rapid.
“Plop…”
In less than four or five breaths, Xu Taiping’s body enters hundreds of feet underground and finally falls onto an underground river.
In an instant, the icy cold water of the underground river once again wrapped around Xu Taiping’s whole body.
Fortunately, the water-avoiding talisman of Dongfang Yuejian lit up again at this time, protecting Xu Taiping from the cold water flow in the underground river.
“Sizzle… Hoo…”
Although because the water-avoiding talisman did not start in time, almost all of Xu Taiping’s clothes were soaked.
But the fact that the water-avoiding talisman could light up again already made him feel very fortunate.
After all, the last time they failed to explore the eye of the earth vein because the water-avoiding talisman didn’t light up, and the three of them almost drowned in this underground river.
“Hu……”
After taking a long breath, Xu Taiping held his breath and took out a luminous gem from his sleeve.
This gem was picked up by him casually in the Danxiao Spiritual Herb Garden. It has no spiritual power, but it will emit a light no less than that of the moonlight at night.
Xu Taiping then threw out a gem.
After seeing the gem sink to the bottom of the underground river dozens of zhang deep, Xu Taiping began to swim quickly towards the bright spot in the distance.
According to Dongfang Yuejian’s inference when they went down the well last time, that bright spot should be the exit closest to this underground river.
“The spiritual power of the water-avoiding talisman can only last for dozens of breaths. We have to hurry up！”
While thinking like this, Xu Taiping crushed a bead on the same boat chain on his wrist and swam quickly towards the direction of the bright light.
With the help of the water-avoiding talisman, Xu Taiping’s swimming speed in the water at this moment is even faster than his running speed on land with his body skills.
In just one or two breaths, he had already swum hundreds of zhang away.
And after swimming hundreds of zhang further, Xu Taiping took out another gem from his sleeve and threw it to the bottom of the river.
Naturally, these luminous gems left behind are to show Dongfang Yuejian and the others the way.
“Hua la la…”
After swimming forward for nearly a thousand zhang, Xu Taiping finally swam through the narrow passage of the underground river and could stick his head out of the water.
Although the spiritual power of the Water Avoidance Talisman was almost exhausted when it was activated this time in the last hundred-odd zhang, in the end, Xu Taiping still managed to swim out relying on his powerful physique.
“Hu, hu, hu！…”
After a period of intense and rapid breathing Xu Taiping looked back and could vaguely see a bright light shining from the narrow passage within the water.
Youdaoplaceholder0, that should be the light emitted by the gems he threw at the bottom of the underground river.
After reaching out to wipe the water droplets from his face, Xu Taiping looked at the position of the passage and muttered：
“Yuejian and Xuanzhi should still have no problem swimming through that last hundred-odd zhang on their own.”
He still had great confidence in the strength of Dongfang Yuejian and Xuanzhi.
With such thoughts in mind, Xu Taiping turned around and began to swim towards the shore while looking around at the relatively much wider and more open water surface of the underground river.
“This should… be a karst cave eroded by the underground river, right？”
After looking around for a circle, Xu Taiping muttered.
However, because it was really too dark all around, and his current eyesight couldn’t see very far, he could only vaguely make out a contour.
Fortunately, however, the riverbank of this underground river in this karst cave wasn’t very far from him.
“Pa！”
Moments later, Xu Taiping, who was completely wet, had already climbed onto the riverbank by grabbing a piece of lava and flipping over.
“Hua la la…”
And not long after Xu Taiping went ashore, there suddenly came another sound of water flow behind him.
Looking closely, I saw two figures suddenly swim out from that narrow passage, and their heads stuck out of the water one after another.
Who else could the two people be but Xuanzhi and Yuejian？
After seeing that Xuanzhi and Dongfang Yuejian had also swum out, Xu Taiping’s heart finally completely settled down.
Then, Dongfang Yuejian seemed to have also discovered Xu Taiping who had already gone ashore, so while waving at him, she greeted him and said：
“Brother Taiping！”
Xu Taiping also waved at Dongfang Yuejian and Xuanzhi and said：
“There should be another exit in this karst cave. Swim towards me first！”
As he said this, Xu Taiping took out another gem from his sleeve.
In an instant, the originally pitch-black karst cave was suddenly illuminated.
But almost the moment he took out the gem to illuminate the cave, Dongfang Yuejian and Xuanzhi, who were originally about to swim towards Xu Taiping on their own, suddenly froze in place.
Immediately afterwards, Dongfang Yuejian shouted in a tone full of panic：
“Brother Taiping, be careful behind you！”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping almost instinctively pulled out his knife with a “clang” sound, and while twisting his body and rolling to one side, he looked behind him with the corner of his eye.
As a result, behind him, there was a pair of huge yellowish eyeballs like lanterns, looking down at him from the top of the cave.
“Boom！”
And almost at the same time as he looked at the pair of huge yellowish eyeballs, a huge snake head opened its huge mouth and suddenly bent down to bite at him.
It was not until this moment that Xu Taiping discovered that there was a giant snake with a body as thick as five or six people hugging each other coiled in the depths of this huge cave！！
